Youth Haven

Youth Haven homes serve as short term emergency
placements for homeless youth under a federal grant and for state involved
youth through the Children's Administration. Our agency owned Youth Haven home is a licensed staffed
residential home for up to 12 youth. We provide safe, stable,
temporary living alternatives to youth who are dealing with family crisis.
The agency offers counseling and referral services to assist in the first
steps toward family reconciliation or finding a safe, stable housing
alternative.

For immediate help, youth may call the 24-hour
hotline listed on this page. It connects them with trained staff who
determine whether the caller is eligible for placement and make referrals,
when appropriate, to other programs. The same hotline is used
for all Assessment beds in the Foster Care program.

Youth Haven is staffed with a live-in
house supervisor providing guidance, supervision, and support for youth.
Family-style living offers youth an opportunity to learn how to become
positive participants in their own homes, making the transition back to
family life easier. Youth attend school and participate in social activities
and weekend outings. Additionally, a Master's-level Therapeutic Case
Manager meets with each child and his or her family to work towards
reconciliation and reunification.

Ages served: Youth age 7-17

Requirements:Youth may remain for approximately 21
(for homeless youth) and 30 days (for BRS Assessment youth).

The Landing

Friends of Youth operates The Landing, an emergency young adult shelter for people between the ages of 18 and 24. The Landing is open 7 days a week and is located in Redmond. It is the only emergency young adult shelter on the Eastside. In addition to being a safe place in times of crisis, it provides young people with resources and referrals needed to exit homelessness.

Line-up for the shelter is at 8:30 PM and intake begins at 8:45 PM. Guests are provided with dinner, showers, laundry service, clothing and breakfast in the morning. Guests may stay at the Landing up to 30 nights within a three-month period, with the possibility of extension. The Landing closes at 8:00 AM each morning.
